Ruby, my dear
Hold back that tear
I know he's gone
Your love has flown
You're all alone
Oh, I know you cry
There's no reply
Pain lingers on
It doesn't go
Cos you'll say so

One day he came to you
And made the music play
In his way
You said you'd rather die
Than say goodbye
But there'll come a day
Though he's away
You'll sing his song
You'll carry on
Ruby, my dear
